How do I create a playlist of thumbs up songs from a station?

Corwin — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 03:23:04 GMT

I have Pandora Premium. I've been a member for about 17 years.

I have a bunch of older stations that have hundreds of thumbs up songs, but I can't figure out how to tell the station to create a playlist of the thumbs up only songs.

I have 6-7 stations that I would love to just listen to the favorites from, but how do I make enable this choice/setting?

@Corwin While there isn't a way to manually create a Thumbs Up playlist based off of one of your stations, they should automatically get created as you continue to listen and provide Thumbs Up ratings.

I took a look at your collection and do see you have a number of Thumbs Up playlists that have been created.

Can you please let me know the name of the station you were looking to have a Thumbs Up playlist created for?

Additionally, can you please let me know if you are streaming Pandora from a computer or a mobile device?

Thanks for working with me on this.

The stations that I wan to have Thumbs Up playlists for are:

Dance Trance Favorites (58 thumbs up)
Club/Dance Radio (37 thumbs up)
Relaxing New (84 thumbs up)
E.T. Radio (96 thumbs up)
Daniel Tosh Radio (44 thumbs up)
Eurythmics Radio (112 thumbs up)
classic rock (121 thumbs up)
Everything Else (204 thumbs up)
Relaxing (430 thumbs up)
Techno/Dance (191 thumbs up)

I stream from both computer and android phone. Other than choosing a thumbs up/down, all changes are made using the computer website though. Phone use is only for listening through headphones or car.

You say it should 'automatically' create them. Does that mean if I just listen to them and thumbs up a few new songs, it will automatically create the playlist?

Thanks for all your help.

@Corwin Thanks for following up with that information.

If you continue to listen to those stations and provide Thumbs Up ratings from your mobile device, then those playlists should generate on their own.

This being said, if you are providing Thumbs Up ratings on web, those playlists will not get created as it is currently only a feature on mobile.

Another option would be to create a new station on your mobile device, and provide Thumbs Up ratings to the new station you create.

Let me know if this helps.

While I don't really want to mess around with the stations and just want to play the thumbs up listings, I don't wonder how many songs do I need to thumbs up for the playlist to generate if I'm using the phone app?

Does this also mean I could just thumbs up half a dozen songs to cause it to generate the playlist and then remove the thumbs up status of those songs to revert back to the point it was when I started making changes?

For anyone else with this problem:

It takes thumbs up'ing 3 songs on the phone app to trigger the 'thumbs up playlist' notification creation.
